     Not surprising that the lawsuit is coming out of California.   
      
   I am trying to find any reference to lawsuits from the past claiming the same   
   thing about Television and Cable, and the search engines keep redirecting me   
   here.   
      
   Besides targeted content and advertising, what could be the basis to claim   
   that social media is more addicting to the television that we had growing up?   
      
   What about META and Youtubes claims that it is failed parenting that has lead   
   to their childs over indulgence in their products?   
     - Certainly unless we were sick, there were always limmits on when and for   
   how long we could watch TV...   
      
   (At least until I found out I could connect the VCR to the Commodore 1702 in   
   my bedroom...)..   
      
   Today, devices (Phone, tablets, computers) have sophisticated parental   
   controls to limmit or block access to apps, sites, etc.  The only problem is   
   parents now have to deal with the blowback.   
      
   Third, if it gets as far as damages...   How much harm do you think the two   
   companies mentioned in the lawsuit are causing children?
